I had a very wonderful experience with Dr. Homsi, he was very calm and had a very good bedside manner. The other staff were just as good. Took the time to explain the procedures, pricing and scheduling of much needed appts. LaToya H.
For many years I avoided going to the dentist. Why? Many are, in my opinion, condescending (insert expletive here). But not here at Taylor Street Dental. The entire staff is friendly and very supportive with every patient looking to maintain or improve their oral health. Dr. Homsi handled my case with the highest degree of professionalism. I believe him to be an extremely knowledgeable, and capable dentist. I also need to commend the dental assistants and hygienists here. They are outstanding. Roy L.
